Since that "ks" label is already provided, I presume you could make the
installation fully automatic by changing that "default" line from
"linux" to "ks".  Though it's an interesting question where the ks.cfg
would be searched for -- I don't think it would be inside the isolinux
stuff, since that's not necessarily visible to anaconda.  Maybe just on
the root of the CD-ROM?  Or would it still default to the floppy?
